Odd, I was able to view it, although it's a bit slow since it's been posted on reddit recently, where I found it. In any case thanks for the text copy

new fixedart: Coconut Helm of the Octopus King

You see here a glowing octarine helm.

[Jabberwocky]

Does it grant the coconut effect?

[tcjsavannah]

And does it spawn free limes?

[Confidence Interval]

I presume it is only ever found in the Shoals.

octopus != octopode
human cannot fit into coconut shell
human body size ≈ octopode body size > octopus body size
∴ octopode cannot fit into coconut shell

-Jabberwocky

I had to look up Coconut Effect. I think Crawl in its entirety is one long concatenation of Coconut Effects. (see: Mountain Dwarves)

octopus != octopode
human cannot fit into coconut shell
human body size ≈ octopode body size > octopus body size
∴ octopode cannot fit into coconut shell

I don't understand this.

Hmm, I didn't organize that very well. Really there's two separate points in there:

octopus != octopode
octopode body size > octopus body size
∴ octopus in coconut shell does not prove octopode can fit in coconut shell

human cannot fit into coconut shell
human body size ≈ octopode body size
∴ octopode cannot fit into coconut shell

[Grimm]

No, I meant "I don't understand why there's no joke in this."

Octopodes, like regular octopuses, have no bones, allowing them to find into incredibly tiny spaces. Regular octopuses can fit their entire bodies through holes an inch across, surely a human-sized one can fit its dome inside a coconut.

What bug was this?

Can't I say something in CYC that's not a joke?

Use it as a hat, sure, most anything could, but full body armour? The little one in the video already seemed to be having a slight amount of difficulty fitting entirely inside.

you can but you get mega penance with Grimm, God of the Forums

Or a significant difference.

[rebthor]

Just be careful if you go from Grimm to njvack. The conducts are totally different.

[cerebovssquire]

What bug was this?

IIRC syllogism told me it was available if you selected random combo or random background or something (this was ages ago, like Stone Soup .3 or something), but I'm not sure anymore.

I love reading about people going crazy with roguelike bugs. My favorite was one in Nethack, where someone exploited a bug to duplicate gold, got so much gold that the gold variable flipped over into negative numbers, meaning he had something like minus two billion gold. Since gold has weight in Nethack, this completely fucked up the weight calculations, giving him negative weight, he could carry literally every single thing he found. His bag of holding had 45 pages of stuff and he was wielding a boulder.

Why didn't you just link back to the LAST TIME YOU TOLD THAT EXACT SAME STORY.

Argh, I forget which stories I've already told on which forums.

I... I'm sorry, Grimm.

[Grimm]

I see a niche in the market. A niche shaped like a central server for all one's anecdotes so that instead of tiresomely writing out forum posts you can just type in a short code and have people sent to the stored story. If they've already read it a notice will pop up informing them of that fact. Lots of time will be saved, for everyone.

If we get it working right we won't even need posts anymore, all the threads will just be a string of numbers.
